Hello Jürgen,
It seems as though this equivalence doesn't work. Here's a transcript.
The first attempt uses the alternate symbols, which gives an error
message. The standard symbols works fine:
* 1 {α+ω} 2*
VALUE ERROR
λ1[1] λ←α+ω
^
* 1 {⍺+⍵} 2*
3
Regards,
Elias

Hi Elias,
these characters are already accepted as "alternate characters",
see *Avec.cc* lines *252* and *256*.
If they don't work then I need more details about the circumstances.

GNU APL uses the symbols ⍺ (U+237A APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL ALPHA)
and ⍵ (U+2375 APL FUNCTIONAL SYMBOL OMEGA) for the left and right
hand arguments in a lambda function.
I would like to suggest that it also accept α (U+03B1 GREEK SMALL
LETTER ALPHA) and ω (U+03C9 GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA) as
alternatives.
This will help when copy&pasting code that has been written with
the non-standard symbols.
